Rayad Emrit will captain the Trinidad and Tobago Red Force team for the duration of the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) Professional Cricket League (PCL) four-day competition.
This after the T&T Cricket Board (TTCB) executive approved the recommendation from the national selectors to replace regular skipper Denesh Ramdin with Emrit and to appoint middle order batsman Jason Mohammed as vice-captain.
The wicket-keeper batsman, Ramdin, took over the T&T captaincy from Daren Ganga in 2011 and was appointed West Indies Test captain earlier this year, replacing Darren Sammy.
Emrit led the T&T in the 2014 season earlier this year when the Red Force finished runners-up to Barbados in the four-day competition.
The TTCB executive met over the weekend and finally resolved the T&T captaincy controversy which erupted when Ramdin said he was being victimized after he was axed at T&T captain during a meeting with the TTCB last Monday.

The ICC has issued a warning against players taking contractual matters into their own hands, as West Indies did in withdrawing from their tour of India, and hinted that the right to play in domestic tournaments such as the IPL could be removed for those who transgress in future.
West Indies effectively cancelled their commitments in India last month due to a dispute between the WICB, the West Indies Players' Association (WIPA) and the players themselves. The WICB faces a claim for millions of dollars in damages from the BCCI and could still be suspended by the ICC, with the matter a subject of ongoing board meetings in Dubai.
